Downey has an eye for detail and have many experiences in 3D modeling and printing. Most recently, he has come up with another impressive creation: a 3D printed, life-sized Thorn exotic hand cannon from Destiny.

Destiny is a first-person shooter released in early September 2014. The game features a whole arsenal of different weapons, and Thorn is said to be the hardest gun to get in the game. To make the prop, Downey says that he designed the model using Solidworks and the process took him 10 hours. Then he printed all the pieces at 0.2mm, 10%infill. "The two barrel parts and the handle should be printed upright with the zig zag in the bed. the trigger mech parts should be printed with the flattest face on the bed." he explains. It took approximately 24 hours to print all the pieces.

By simply using an interlocking mechanism, the entire gun can be assembled without the need for any glue. It includes rotating barrel, hammer and even has a working trigger.

"I have replicated the unique trigger interaction that you get in the game where if you slowly squeeze the trigger button the hammer moves back slowly in the game," he writes. "The spring action is created with a simple loom band which can be seen in the images. The model also features a rotating barrel and a reload mechanism which simulates the action in the game."
